BAGHDAD — Coalition forces detained (24) suspects Sunday during operations targeting al-Qaida networks in central and northern Iraq.

Coalition forces captured a wanted individual during operations north of Samarra. The wanted individual is believed to be involved in al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) media networks and was involved in attacks against Coalition forces. In addition to the wanted individual, Coalition forces detained three suspects without incident. During other operations in Samarra, Coalition force detained (11) suspects during operations targeting al-Qaida’s courier and media networks, as well as weapons facilitators and associates of senior terrorist leaders.

During operations in Baghdad, Coalition forces captured a wanted individual reportedly involved in the Karkh car-bombing network and a close associate to several Karkh AQI leaders. In addition to the wanted individual, Coalition forces detained four suspects without incident.

West of Yusufiyah, Coalition forces captured a wanted individual allegedly associated with AQI leaders and foreign terrorists in the Southern Belt. During the operation, Coalition forces called for the targeted building’s occupants to come out and they complied. The wanted individual identified himself to the ground force and was subsequently detained.

South of Darband-i-Khan, Coalition forces detained one suspect believed to be associated with a terrorist courier network between Iraq and neighboring countries.

In Mosul, Coalition forces also detained two suspects during operations targeting AQI operations, weapons procurement and foreign terrorist facilitators.

“Iraqi and Coalition forces are hitting al-Qaida across Iraq, disrupting their terrorist networks,” said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesman. “The Iraqi people are working with us, helping us find al-Qaida, to ensure a more secure future for their nation.”
